Answer:

6/15 is the probability

Explanation:

There are six bananas, then you add the six bananas plus the five apples and the four oranges. you put the sum of that as the denominator and the six bananas as the numerator. it should look like this 6/15 or simplified 3/5.

6/15. Because you have 6 bananas and all the others are different fruits. All of them together make fifteen in total.
